Which social media apps do you use?

Call me a late bloomer... I am 26 years old, and for what appears to be since the dawn of mankind, I have been using Facebook as my sole and only social media app.ok, maybe I did try Google+ back in the day people thought it 'might' compete with Facebook someday, and I liked the temporary exclusivity of it when it was an invite only app in beta.that may have lasted a month or so... but I quickly dropped it and went back to where my friends were - on FB.I have heard about other apps like Snapchat, WeChat in China, Twitter, and all the rest of them... but never bothered downloading them. After all, every single one of their functionalities was accessible to me on Facebook.Over the last few years, I have noticed a dramatic drop in my online friends' activity levels. Out of about 200 friends on Facebook, I have maybe 10 that use FB regularly. The rest have just gone silent, and I just thought it was part of them growing up and being too busy in their lives to post anything.But then... something radical happened.I installed Instagram. It was completely by off-chance, after my wife told me she posted something on it. I looked at her in shock and asked her in bewilderment - "you're on instagram?"... "why? Isn't it the same as Facebook, but with less options?"

Anyhow, yes, it is now clear I have been living under a rock. I'm still a geek and nerd at heart. I'm more mobile savvy than most. I play video games way more frequently than I should and spent a fortune on the dozens of gadgets/macs/PCs/Phones/Tablets and smart watch. But here is one sector of the tech industry that eluded me for the last 10 years.

Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram for the most part. That’s where I communicate with my friends from HS and College.
Tumblr I honestly just use to reblog pictures of half naked women, anime, music, social themes and wallpapers.
And I don’t use Facebook anymore. I still have it as a backup if someone absolutely needs to get in touch with me, but I haven’t posted a status in years.
